[PD] type casting for pix_film

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Those particular error messages often return gibberish for the  
filename.  I wonder why the error message doesn't use the char*  
filename:

       error("Unable to find file: %#s", theFSSpec.name);

Perhaps the functions above don't put data into .name if it can't find  
a file.  Anyone object if I change them to use 'filename' instead of  
theFSSpec.name?
